Hi Chris, I stumbled across your video about open DNS by accident. i decided to try it out and amazingly it not only worked but blocked porn sites. this will be so useful for all my friends who have children and young surfers. Thanks so much for sharing this information......Sweet.
ok for the people who dont believe this go to the geeksquad website and then on the search box type in speed test, they will show you how many mbps you are receiving and how many mbps of upload you are receving
before i changed my setting i was trying watch your video and it kept pausing i am on cable now it working great fast speed. i would never of would of known about that site unless you did this video. thank you again
I had no idea about this, Chris. Learn something new everyday. I'm definately going to check this out now that you've said that people should be on top of this. Thanks so much for the info!
I totally agree with the below comments. It is nice being secure, but it is slower than my Roadrunner DNS Servers... Security is nice, but I haven't noticed any of the symptoms from what you were saying. Besides, I have NOD32 running in the background; and the powerful Vista firewal (plus the firewall in my router). I think I'm secured. :)
Now Chris, Your assuming OpenDNS is uncrackable, uninfectable, & immune to errors. And YMMV with speed on opendns vs your local ISP. I do like the features OpenDNS offers and the price is right. My experience is faster with local DNS though. OpenDNS does offer some nice security features for end users but I would not describe it as the be all solution for you DNS worries. I would at the very least use them for diagnosing a DNS problem.
I've tried OpenDNS a few months ago. While it's nice to know that it's probably more secure as you say, it was slower than the DNS servers provided by my ISP (Verizon DSL).
haha, it does not make your internet faster. My ISP has horrific DNS servers, and they blow away that service. Granted, the best part of opendns is that it allows you to block websites and whatnot based on blacklists. But, still, there are better ways, such as local blacklist software...

I have a router and a hub and 3 computers are connected ,so can I use open dns on all 3 computers? and do I have to set my dns on the router only ?
Jed9133 1 year ago
@Jed9133 depends if your router has dns forwarding. you can set 8.8.8.8 for primary and 8.8.8.4 for secondary... that's google's public dns service.

OpenDNS is mostly bad news, and not fast like they claim. Use 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 as your DNS if you have trouble with your ISPs DNS.
